Indigenous village of Nabusímake, The capital of Arhuaco territory is a village of about 60 houses of straw, surrounded by a stone fence and called Nabusímake: the land where the sun is born. This town, like a good part of the indigenous territories of the Caribbean region, was catechized by the Capuchins, who left, besides a chapel with bell tower that tried to maintain the native architecture, a huge boarding school in the outskirts of the town. The houses are built in a mixture of materials traditionally used by the natives and the square structure of the Spaniards that included windows and stone bases to prevent flooding and increase the internal temperature of houses. It is the most important tourist place in the Municipality of Pueblo Bello, it is characterized because it is a small town where the majority of the population is the indigenous community Arhuaca.
